My last blog was a real challenge as my computer screen continuously flickered on and off. Now that it is fixed, I am happy to be blogging again!

Without double checking with an actual calendar, I believe it's been two weeks since my two year old's last ear infection. It is probably too early to claim that my 'natural solutions' are working, but I am very happy to report that he has been a healthy kid since my last blog. And yes, I have been taking him to the part time day care as needed.

The weather here has been unusually warm. Therefore, everyone's allergies are clinging on. I have noticed a small cough on more than one occaision, and I have quickly turned on the house fan and circulated our air. I notice that my own throat is less scratchy in the morning.

I have reposted my food categories back on my fridge. It really helps with meal planning. I do not worry about what the kids actually eat, but I do worry about offering them a balanced meal. For example, I actually had 5 servings of beans and legumes last week, but I think my two year old chose to eat just one. It's also been on my "to do " list to double check on the meat servings for a non-secretor. I think he may need more meat than I do, but I cannot remember for certain.
